Honda Motor Co. said it will recall about 374,000 vehicles to fix a possible electrical problem that could cause their airbag systems to malfunction.

The car maker said the new recall affects about 318,000 Honda Odyssey minivans from the 2003 and 2004 model years, and 56,000 Acura MDX sport-utility vehicles from 2003. Electrical interference could cause the vehicles’ supplemental restraint systems, or SRS, to inflate the airbags when there is no reason to do so.

The case could contribute to general uncertainty among drivers regarding how long they should expect airbag systems to last as their cars age. While safety groups have tested airbags on cars that are up to 20 years old, this recall and others suggest some airbags might need maintenance as they get older.
